NIGP 92587: Sewage Collection, Treatment, and Disposal/Engineering

NIGP Item 92587 Sewage Collection, Treatment, And Disposal/Engineering encompasses engineering design, construction administration, facility upgrades, and equipment procurement work for municipal wastewater and sewage infrastructure. State and local governments currently solicit under this code for water reclamation facility process improvements, sewer rehabilitation and extension projects, pumping and treatment plant upgrades, emergency generator installations at lift stations, and engineering services spanning preliminary design through construction closeout. Recent opportunities reflect a mix of capital equipment replacement (digester complex upgrades, clarifier drive units, flow meters), routine maintenance contracts (septic pumping, vault toilet servicing), and comprehensive facility master planning driven increasingly by hurricane resilience funding and federal grant compliance obligations under Build America Buy America and similar requirements.

Issuing bodies span state departments (Minnesota DNR, California DFW, Maryland Environmental Service), county governments and regional authorities (Seminole County, Great Lakes Water Authority, Beaufort County), municipal utilities (City of Phoenix Water Services, Salt Lake City Department of Public Utilities), and small-town and rural systems (Hinckley Town, City of Orem, towns across Georgia). State environmental finance authorities and disaster recovery grant programs are driving procurement activity, with multiple Georgia municipalities and the City of Cincinnati issuing qualifications-based selections for engineering support tied to CDBG-DR, GEFA, ARC, or federal Clean Water State Revolving Fund appropriations. Representative recent opportunities include the Great Lakes Water Authority's RFP for study, design, and construction assistance at three CSO facilities in Detroit (proposals due July 7, 2026), Seminole County's Master Services Agreement for Class I Reliability Improvements at Greenwood Lakes Water Reclamation Facility (proposals due July 1, 2026, following Hurricane Milton/Helene damage), and the City of Cincinnati's RFQ for Owner's Advisor and Design Services for the Mercy West Advanced Treatment System addressing antimicrobial resistance through membrane bioreactor and advanced oxidation technologies (submissions due June 23, 2026, with 13% SBE set-aside and 20% evaluation weight for SBE participation).

Geographic activity clusters in Georgia (multiple CDBG-DR engineering RFQs), California (CDFW and state park septic and portable toilet services), Florida (Seminole County, City of Phoenix, FDOT, Pasco County), South Carolina (Beaufort and Dorchester Counties), the Great Lakes region (Michigan, Ohio, Minnesota DNR), and the Mid-Atlantic (Maryland Environmental Service). The code sees sustained activity across small contract awards (vault toilet pumping in the $20,000–$50,000 range), mid-sized projects ($500,000–$2 million in sewer and treatment plant work), and multi-year master services agreements with renewal options. Federal infrastructure funding, climate resilience priorities, and aging-system rehabilitation drive current procurement volume, with federal compliance requirements (Davis-Bacon, BABA, E-Verify, civil rights) increasingly embedded in scope and evaluation criteria.
